Over expression of Plk1 does not induce cell division in rat cardiac myocytes in vitro.
BackgroundMammalian cardiac myocytes withdraw from the cell cycle during post-natal development, resulting in a non-proliferating, fully differentiated adult phenotype that is unable to repair damage to the myocardium, such as occurs following a ...

Frequency-dependent signaling in cardiac myocytes [PDF]
Background: Recent experimental data support the view that signaling activity at the membrane depends on its geometric parameters such as surface area and curvature.

Overexpression of connexin 43 using a retroviral vector improves electrical coupling of skeletal myoblasts with cardiac myocytes
Background Organ transplantation is presently often the only available option to repair a damaged heart. As heart donors are scarce, engineering of cardiac grafts from autologous skeletal myoblasts is a promising novel therapeutic strategy.

It takes two to tango: cardiac fibroblast-derived NO-induced cGMP enters cardiac myocytes and increases cAMP by inhibiting PDE3 [PDF]
The occurrence of NO/cGMP signalling in cardiac cells is a matter of debate. Recent measurements with a FRET-based cGMP indicator in isolated cardiac cells revealed NO-induced cGMP signals in cardiac fibroblasts while cardiomyocytes were devoid of these ...

Gene transfer into cardiac myocytes in vivo [PDF]
The ability to express recombinant genes in cardiac myocytes in vivo holds promise for the treatment of a number of inherited and acquired diseases of the cardiovascular system. Several groups have demonstrated recently that plasmid DNA is taken up and expressed in cardiac myocytes following injection into the left ventricular wall in vivo. Recombinant

Down-regulation of replication factor C-40 (RFC40) causes chromosomal missegregation in neonatal and hypertrophic adult rat cardiac myocytes. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Adult mammalian cardiac myocytes are generally assumed to be terminally differentiated; nonetheless, a small fraction of cardiac myocytes have been shown to replicate during ventricular remodeling.

Background: Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling in cardiac myocytes causes disease in a mouse model of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) by mobilizing CCR2-expressing macrophages that promote myocardial injury and arrhythmias.

Hamartomas of mature cardiac myocytes [PDF]
We present two paediatric cases of a very rare, pathologically benign, and primary cardiac tumour composed of mature cardiac myocytes with disorganized cytoarchitecture called hamartoma of mature cardiac myocyte. The patients are usually asymptomatic, may have non-specific electrocardiogram findings, and rarely have associated sudden death.

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), a single-stranded positive RNA virus, primarily infects cardiac myocytes and is a major causative pathogen for viral myocarditis (VMC), driving cardiac inflammation and organ dysfunction.

IntroductionThe use of comorbidity models is crucial in cardioprotective drug development. Hypercholesterolemia causes endothelial and myocardial dysfunction, as well as aggravates ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced myocardial injury.
